Thailand, Colombia & Brazil; what a great lifestyle move. I just set up my trifecta life too and I spilt time between Thailand, Philippines, and Hawai’i. Banking and real estate in all three spots. I love this lifestyle
Zoe, informative video for people wanting to retire in Thailand. Yes, for a Colombian Retirement Visa you must show proof of retirement funds, but the visa is good for multiple entries for up to 3 years. And you don't have to give them your passport to hold while you wait for visa approval. And after approval, you can get a Cedula (ID) which can be used for travel within the country, to open a bank account, get health insurance, and other benefits.
What’s happens when you’re an entrepreneur who has IRS’s investment or 401K no pension letter makes things a little more difficult. I had to opt for the nomad visa and even with that you’ll have to stay in Colombia for 30 days or your own country for 30 days.
Very informative video. I never knew it was such a process. And so costly. Not that it's expensive but my retired friends over there always made it sound so simple.
Great information Zoe! I passed by that Visa office several times during my visit in September while riding the Baht Bus to Central Pattaya. I believe it's in the same shopping center as the Bus station. You provided some clarity on the option to not deposit 800,000 baht into a Thai bank account.
That area outside was a open area last year now they built glass enclosure for the waiting area. I might grab that this year.. thanks Zoe. I know exactly where that office is. By the bus stop
Also , if you fly to another country days before 90 days , then when you come back and immigration sees your multiple entry ,they stamp it with the date you came back and that starts your 90 days again , its considered a check in also .
Congrats…. I think you should talk to a tax professional in Thailand. Starting January 1, 2024, foreigners living in Thailand will be taxed on earned income outside of Thailand. This includes pensions, business, investments & property gains. Basically the Thai government will be in your pockets. Most foreign sourced income will be subject to taxation. This includes savings accounts. You must prove you payed taxes already on that money. Transferring money into Thailand is subject to taxation. Speak to a Thai tax professional, in regard to section 41 of the Thai Revenue Code.
Liked your video. Wanted to share information to have 2 bank accounts 1 for the 800,000B and other for utilities and food. Why you ask. At end of year you have to print out statement showing the requirements which would be several pages food,utilities,etc., but with 2 accounts you would only print 1 page. Hope that helps
Cheers Bro Nice TUT and ive used ya link and ordered the wiseman ;) cant wait till next year when i make that leap to Thailand.... Kudos to you Sir...... Remember the well of Knowledge is only as deep as your willing to Dive! PizzaGaz
That boy Zoe knows he's from the trenches of NYC and keeps his head on a swivel @ 1:57. Assess possible threats and narrate the video all at the same time. 🤣
Man brother Zoe your channel is beyond interesting and informative. I must admit far as preparing myself I've learned a hell of alot so much appreciated Fam. Can you please tell me the exact name of the visa office you went to for your retirement visa? That price and the way they move with the bank account was excellent 👌. God bless you on your journey and trust and believe you'll see me sooner than later . This channel is for grown men 4 sho 👑🙏🥃🍺💯
Sir to be more informative could you tell us what paperwork from you or us is required other than a bank deposit also the service you used what is their fee and finally you said they hold your passport for 30 days so if problem how do you exists without passport and what travel insurance company you use? You mentioned you have an apartment can you tell us about additional fees that’s needed to move in including expat deposits come on bro give us all details appreciate it
Also, with regard to wise, it's really inexpensive to send money internationally. I've sent thousands of dollars to Thailand from the US. Only a few dollars per transaction.
I retire in September. I'll be retiring to Thailand with my Thai wife. Our house is being built as I type this. The process for me will probably be a little different. But I will handle things from here in the states. There is a Thai consulate in NYC. I'm in Philadelphia so it's not that far away. I've been there several times and there is even a parking garage right across the street. I've been to Thailand 6 or 7x. I love Pattaya but won't be living there.
Very informative video bro. I appreciate it very much. I am coming to Pattaya in May 2024, and will apply for Retirement Visa too. Please share the Visa office Information with us. How to contact this visa office? The name, address, or contact information of the Visa office. Thanks bro 👍🏾
That is too expensive. I will not spend this type money on a visa and then 500 plus yearly. Naaahh, l rather retire in Costa Rica or Santo Domingo in the DR.
Greetings my friend. Just watched the video but I must have missed some critical information. I had the understanding that one was Required to deposit 800,000 Baht in a Thai bank in order to even apply for a Thai retirement visa. Please clarify for me if you would the process around that requirement. Did I also understand you to say that the company fee was about $1,100 that was charged to do the entire process? Also I saw the sign in the video but please also give me the name of the company you used in Pattaya to do the entire process. I'm excited that there's a possibility to get the visa without the 800,000 deposit. I even thought about doing it that way but going to the bank on my own was pretty complicated and a mess. Thanks in advance for the Information.
Zoe you failed to mention that you have to deposit 65k baht every month to maintain your visa. When you renew they will ask for a statement from your bank showing the monthly deposits
@chrise.8715 you clearly didn’t! It’s either/or. EITHER you have the 800k baht deposited in your bank account OR you have a minimum of 65k monthly income deposited. OR a combination of both.
The question some of us may have is .. can dudes in their early 30s get a retirement visa in Thailand? life is so stressful in the matrix, that we don't have to paint our hair grey
Can someone please send me the contact information for the Pattaya Visa Assistance Business that you used. I looked at the posting, but don't see it. Please help me with a url/web address for the business PLEASE!! Thanks!!
I haven’t yet chosen retirement in Thailand. The purpose of this visa is so I can come and go as I please get a bank account here and not have to make 30 day boarder runs. I will utilize its convenience, options and pre planing for if and when I decide where In would like to retire. I also have an option not to renew it.
Guys need to establish business for Black Americans like other groups do for their people an not only promote going somewhere just to lay up with women!
Yeah I’ve done that and I’m doing that still, going on 30 years so I’m good trained licensed and provided careers for many of us. I also promote black businesses in any country I visit but people will find a negative even if there isn’t one present.

Good stuff .. Let you know when I need that wise card
even though thailand's barely seeing half of its precovid tourism levels, i'd be willing to bet they're seeing more postcovid retirees than precovid
Appreciate the info. Do you have your own shades/sunglasses line?
Not yet
Not sure the actual name of the agent company from their sign
SOOOOO EPIC GREAT INFO !!!!!!!!!!

LTR is the way to go, if you meet the requirements - the O and OA visas are sub optimal.
Informative

How do you get someone to help you . Like this lady
Great intel
Do you have to give them a copy your rental contract to apply for Retirement Visa ?
Great info
Also, with regard to wise, it's really inexpensive to send money internationally. I've sent thousands of dollars to Thailand from the US. Only a few dollars per transaction.
What age do you need to be for the retirement visa?
Will you have half your money deposited there & half from your home state
With intension of getting retirement visa in Thailand, can I buy one way air ticket from USA? Airline will not make any problems?
I retire in September. I'll be retiring to Thailand with my Thai wife. Our house is being built as I type this. The process for me will probably be a little different. But I will handle things from here in the states. There is a Thai consulate in NYC. I'm in Philadelphia so it's not that far away.

Hi Terry here can I have the address of the visa place in pattaya because I coming at the end of the year to retire
Family take a picture of the business card of the visa please
What agent do you use, and how much is that service
what if you have a passport card or enhanced driver license could you travel with that while they hold your book
I don’t think so but I’m not sure
Passport cards are only for domestic use.
So you sais the cost was $1100 USD for the Retirement Visa , nothing else out of pocket? AAlso going to use your Wise link, ty.
Who was the agent you used?
Very informative video bro. I appreciate it very much. I am coming to Pattaya in May 2024, and will apply for Retirement Visa too. Please share the Visa office Information with us. How to contact this visa office? The name, address, or contact information of the Visa office. Thanks bro 👍🏾
That visa office is next to main bus station at Jomtien beach
How long you plan on staying in thailand throughout the year? Got to get your money worth
All together what the Thai’s did for you cost the whole package in USD 🇺🇸👍🏽
Thailand is Very Cool for like a long Vacation But NOT to retire.
International Zoe can you send me the link to that visa office? Also, Zoe are you from Harlem? You look familiar, I'm from 129st.
That is too expensive. I will not spend this type money on a visa and then 500 plus yearly. Naaahh, l rather retire in Costa Rica or Santo Domingo in the DR.
But in Thailand you can get a driver's license and a motorcycle license, but in the Dominican Republic You cannot plus you got to pay an overstay fee.
You never confirmed how much the Retirement Visa is..
Greetings my friend. Just watched the video but I must have missed some critical information.

At 8:20 he talks about the 800k in the bank.
Yes I know about the 800k but he also mentioned a way around it and he only made a small deposit. I know the place so I can check on it myself now
How much did you pay in total?
Zoe you failed to mention that you have to deposit 65k baht every month to maintain your visa. When you renew they will ask for a statement from your bank showing the monthly deposits
Not true,come on
Better do your research!
@chrise.8715 you clearly didn’t! It’s either/or. EITHER you have the 800k baht deposited in your bank account OR you have a minimum of 65k monthly income deposited. OR a combination of both.
You look so young tho 😮
The question some of us may have is .. can dudes in their early 30s get a retirement visa in Thailand? life is so stressful in the matrix, that we don't have to paint our hair grey
Yes.
You have to be 50+ to get a retirement Visa and you need sometime type of pension.
You didn’t have to show 800k Baht before getting visa?
.
Yes
Can you provide the contact details of the lady who arranged your retirement visa?
cool
Ok, I see the name: it's Visa Service Pattaya.
Gotta get the passport card so you can still move around the country it’s valid.
I have a passport card I don’t think that will work but I’ll ask
@@INTERNATIONALZOE you can’t leave the country but you can travel in a vehicle idk about planes though
Zoe can you list the address and phone number where this establishment is located?
Can someone please send me the contact information for the Pattaya Visa Assistance Business that you used. I looked at the posting, but don't see it. Please help me with a url/web address for the business PLEASE!! Thanks!!
How much you need to put into the bank account.

I'm a Gen Xer, and I support what Zoe is doing, see the world and meet other women.
Thai you only own 49%. Some dude just had a Thai pull a rug on him. Thai appears to be good and safe to live, especially as you get old, and hooookas.
